MicroRNAs

ЁЯФ╣MicroRNAs are tiny sequences of molecules that are vital to our development, growth and survival. Each microRNA can regulate many thousands of genes.

ЁЯФ╣ There are thought to be 2,300 identified microRNAs in the human genome, regulating up to one third of human genes.

ЁЯФ╣ Each raw human microRNA comprises 83 nucleotides, which are the building-block molecules of genetic material.

ЁЯФ╣ Micro in size but mighty in power, microRNAs can stop genes from using their instructions to make new protein molecules by blocking and binding to the relevant genetic codes
